Guest GeneralDisorder Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 I don't think the heads are the only difference - someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the compression ratio should be different than on a turbo motor. Possibly the cam as well? But I suppose if you rebuilding anyway, those parts can be changed. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest calebz Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 C/R is higher on the N/A motor.. thats a good thing though!. slap the turbo headsand manifold and stuff on it, instant zoom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oddcomp Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 yeah i knew bouts the compression thats why if i find a rx i am gonna use a saab apc unit to control boost hehehe it will run boost till it pings then drop a few psi so i always gets the max i can handle yay apc might be a bit useless in the wirfe's turbo .. although since its our only car right now i am the only one who normally drives it hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest calebz Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Hmmm. I have access to one of my old 900 turbos for parts.. I wonder how hard would it be to use the saab apc system on a soob.. I have heard of people converting them for volvos and toyotas, so I know it can be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ratty2Subaru Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 dude! I am looking for some spare heads and block for SPFI!!! and I have a set of turbo heads and misc parts that I dont need!

Guest GlCraigGT Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 i hope this doesn't burst your bubble but there are a couple of differenced in the block of a EA82 turbo compared to the compared to the spfi/carb block. 1. spfi/carb dose not have a place to screw a knock sensor in 2. spfi/carb dose not have the crankcase breather that the turbo has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pierman2 Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 I could use a compressor for my a/c. E-mail me at sorksunray@aol.com. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oddcomp Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 from inition inspection the block is a: a small greaseball nothing seems to be stripped it still sitting in the back of the wagon waiting for me to try and remove it by myself and from the looks so far no it does not have the holes tapped for said ports and sensors but the bosses appear to be there so drilling and tapping them can be done i wanna keep the engine block but the heads i have no use for will be sending email to those who have asked and no use for the a/c except maybe to turn it into a air comressor but since the air suspension on the turbo wagon is gone i will just use that compressor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oddcomp Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 hmm actually if i had a welder and some time i would build a tube frame and use some misc suby body parts to build a fiero ish sized car and mount the motor midengined with a the 5 speed transaxle in a rear wheel type of setup with the turbo now that would be a fun car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
